Sixpence - 1717 to 1787 - Price Guide
The sixpence acquired the friendly nickname tanner although quite how this came about is something of a mystery. Some attribute it to John Sigismund Tanner (1705-75), a former Chief Engraver of The Royal Mint who designed a sixpence during the reign of George II (r. 1727-60), whilst another theory is that the name comes from the Anglo-Romani word taw no meaning small one.
